Hi,
I would like to detect whether the 'e' key is pressed every time I click on
an NSView. If the view is already the firstResponder, I can quite memorize
that key pressed when keyDown and reuse it when mouseDown. Then I erase it
when keyUp.
But if the user presses the 'e' key when the firstResponder is on another
view, then he clicks on my view, I cannot detect that the 'e' is still
pressed. I have been trying to detect the key already pressed subclassing
becomeFirstResponder but I get nothing. Any idea?

- (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder
{
    unsigned int    eventMask = NSKeyDownMask;
    NSEvent          *theEvent = [[self window]
                        nextEventMatchingMask:eventMask untilDate:nil
                        inMode:NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode dequeue:YES];

    NSEventType        eventType = [theEvent type];
    if(eventType == NSKeyDown){
        mCharCurrentlyPressed = [[theEvent charactersIgnoringModifiers]
                                               characterAtIndex:0];
        NSLog(@"becomeFirstResponder %c", mCharCurrentlyPressed );
    }
    
    return YES;
}


Best Regards
